How can you say this is incorrect? Do you know everything, great master?
I can say that because Houkes knows what he is doing, other experts
agree with him, and it has been my experience that the water temperature
in a pipe dominates the surface temperature even when there is another
pipe or hot body nearby. As for example, in a calorimeter where the
inlet and outlet sensors are close, and both under insulation. Or in the
tests I did last night. Air temperature and heat conducted by the pipe
do not play much of a role.
There is symmetry, and so the temperature distribution must be symmetrical.
This is EASY to see.
Evidently not.
